Purple Grape Prints

Materials     
Styrofoam meat tray with a few damp paper towels folded in it
Liquid purple tempera paint
A couple of corks
Construction paper
Green marker

Directions     
Pour a small amount of purple paint on the paper towels in the meat tray.  Dab the bottom of the cork into the paint and blot it on the paper towel if needed.  Press the cork to the paper and make prints, replenishing with more paint as the cork requires.  If you happen to have a bunch of grapes in the fridge, show your preschooler how close together they are on the vine.  Encourage them to print their grapes close together, but it’s not absolutely necessary.  Using the green marker, draw a stem and some tendrils on the “bunch” when done.
